Freepers - help me! What are the hand washing rules for handling money and then handling ice cream?

Just paid a visit to the new ice cream place in town. The little teeny-bopper girl took my money and promptly grabbed the scooper and started scooping my ice cream. I asked her if she was going to wash her hands and she told me she was not. She explained her hand was on the handle and that only the scooper touches the ice cream (how scientific I thought). I actually made her wash her hands, considering the precision and skill and focusing ability of most teens, I wasn't buying it. She still got all snippety with me and told me that's how the owners did it too and then she started cutting up the bananas for my husband's split.

I tried looking up ice cream food handling procedures or rules and couldn't find anything on local parlors and their scooping practices. Anyone know anything about this??

Wouldn't it be a better idea to call your local health department, and let an inspector go down and check 'em out?

Jeez.

Dude, you're neurotic. Take a sedative and drink lots of vodka.

You sound like a giant pain in the rear.

Tell me. You handed her the money. Did you wash your hands between handling the money and eating the ice cream cone?

If you are worried about such as this, perhaps it best you never eat in any food establishment.

You're anal. She was right, you're a pain in the butt. :)

Please explain how her hand touching money and then touching the handle affected the cleanliness of the ice cream going into your piehole? Do the money germs crawl along the handle rapidly and infest the scooped ice cream?

Are you an annoying, germ obsessed nurse, who hails from the Caribean? Because those are the folks who drove me nutz when I was scooping at Baskin-Robbins years ago.

Your dirty hands gave her the dirty money and your hands that handled the dirty money will hold the cone. Seems to me that you're the purveyor of the dirt in the first place.

Think of it as an immune system building opportunity move on. Life is too short to worry over silly stuff like this.

What are you talking about?

You have been at FR long enough to correctly reply to the poster of this thread, and that ain't me.

Hey, way to beat up on that minimum-wage teeny-bopper there.

I like it better when the person behind the counter puts on those disposable clear plastic gloves before handling my money.

Unfortunately, Hair Of The Dog nailed it. I bet you did eat the cone without washing your hands. So would I. We're both still here, so there ya go.

There was a deadly serious e-coli outbreak a couple years back in upstate NY. Funny thing, mostly unreported, was that only the OCD hand-washing germ-free sterile-lifestyle types got really sick

Us hayseed farm-raised eat a pound O'Dirt - roll in the barnyard types never even got a tummy ache.

Just how much misery do you really want in your life?

I made the ice cream in question.

You don't want to know what's in it, just enjoy.


(Ack! I've become Darkshear!)

That's nothing. Once I was dining in a fairly nice restaurant. It was about 30 minutes before closing. I stepped into the men's room and there was our waitress scrubbing toilets.

We skipped desert.

Germs
By Weird Al Yankovic

Sometimes I really want to be alone
But that’s one state I’m never in
Because I know that I’ve got millions upon millions
Of tiny, one-celled organisms living on my skin

(germs) I rub and scrub until my flesh is raw and bleeding
(germs) but they just come right back
(germs) I can’t even see ’em, but I know they’re up to something
Hey, don’t touch that - you don’t know where it’s been

They’re all over me
They’re inside of me
Can’t get ’em offa me
I’m covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
What’ll they do to me
There’s no escape for me
I’m crawling with ... microscopic bacteria

Now if I ever dare to go to sleep
That’s when they start their sneak attack
In the morning I wake up in utter horror
To find my teeth are covered with bacterial plaque

(germs) can’t get those parasitic creatures off my face
(germs) and there’s more comin’ every day
(germs) I never said that they could camp out on my body
I wish they’d pack their tiny little bags and move away

They’re all over me
They’re inside of me
Can’t get ’em offa me
I’m covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
What’ll they do to me
There’s no escape for me
I’m crawling with ... microscopic bacteria

They’re creepin’ around my shorts
They’re under the bathroom sink
They’re ridin’ inside my car
They’re swimmin’ in my drink
They’re hidin’ between my toes
They’re lurkin’ in every kiss
I got ’em way up my nose
In every orafice
I’m gonna show them who’s boss
I’m gonna get even yet
Just gimme some lysol spray
Just hand me a moist towelette
Don’t tell me I’m paranoid
I know that they’re after me
Look under the microscope
See? ?

They’re all over me
They’re inside of me
Can’t get ’em offa me
I’m covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
What’ll they do to me
There’s no escape for me
I’m crawling with ... microscopic bacteria

They’re all over me
I can feel ’em all over me
Over every part of me
Microscopic bacteria
I know they’re watching me
They’re always watching me
They’re coming after me
Microscopic bacteria
Won’t somebody help me
Please somebody help me
You’ve got to believe me
They’re out to get me
They wanna control me
They wanna destroy me
They’re tryin’ to kill me
It kind of upsets me
